“This monkey, it seems he does have some skills, completely different from those who came before.”
“This ghost is no ordinary one, to be cut in half like that.”
“Maybe there’s a chance to fight that Black Wind King.”
The Black Wind Mountain Land Deity murmured to himself, and came to a high place to watch.
This was a place in Black Wind Mountain with a great view, and there was a Taoist with a gourd on his back.
The Land Deity emerged from the ground and asked, “Fellow Daoist. This monkey, is he truly the fated Heaven’s Chosen? Can he defeat the Black Wind King?”
The Taoist in front of him had been in Black Wind Mountain for some time, but he hadn’t made a move. He also knew that this Taoist was definitely not simple.
Before, for other monkeys that came, he often only needed a glance to know their fate.
The Taoist looked down, his gaze landing on a courtyard. In the courtyard, a wolf demon wielding a double-headed fire-breathing long staff was training with great vigor.
He heard the Land Deity’s question, and simply replied, “Let’s wait and see.”
His calculations could see through all futures, but first, he needed to gather enough information.
The more mysterious the target, the less clear the information, the more blurred the future.
“This monkey in front of us, is indeed a bit different. His learning ability is extraordinary, and he’s been diligently studying along the way.”
“He focuses on himself.”
“Those monkeys who came before, their purpose was all to obtain treasures. They fought their way up with clear goals, and were truly reckless.”
“He, however, is not attached to this, he doesn’t have a deep attachment.”
“Very rare.”
“You can guide him more.”
The Land Deity nodded slightly.
At this time, Zhong Yuan continued forward, and had already arrived at the courtyard where the firelight was.
Behind the courtyard gate, against the mountain rocks, were a few huge stone carvings of human heads, their authenticity unknown, quite frightening.
Zhong Yuan had arrived at Black Wind Mountain in the morning, fighting his way up. Now, the sky had already darkened.
“Who are you, daring to come here and disturb my cultivation?”
Before Zhong Yuan even entered, he heard a question coming from the courtyard.
Zhong Yuan directly walked in, “Who are you?”
The demons of Black Wind Mountain, the lesser ones were truly ordinary, they couldn’t provide him with much inspiration. But the bosses like the Courtyard Protector, maybe they could give him a greater harvest.
In the courtyard, at this time, a tall wolf demon stood, the weapon in his hand was clearly not an ordinary one, his aura was far superior to the ordinary lesser demons.
The wolf demon turned his head, his eyes narrowed angrily, “Another monkey!”
“Damn it! Stinking monkey, you dare injure my master, today I, Guang Zhi, will not let you off!”
Zhong Yuan was slightly stunned, “You’re called Guang Zhi, the Guang Zhi who burned down the Guanyin Zen Temple?”
“Didn’t you kill your master yourself?”
How come a good monk has become a demon?
“Shut up!” Guang Zhi roared, raising the staff in his hand, his figure flashed and he was already in front of Zhong Yuan, raising his hand to strike.
Can’t beat Sun Wukong, so you want to vent your anger on him?
Unfortunately, your strength is lacking.
Zhong Yuan raised his long staff, accurately blocking it, his feet remaining firmly planted.
Then he raised his left hand, “Immobilize!”
Guang Zhi, who was about to retreat, was directly immobilized on the spot, unable to move.
Zhong Yuan looked up and carefully examined him, thinking for a moment but couldn’t figure it out.
Was this the Guang Zhi of that time who had become a demon, or was he a demon from the start?
Having already entered the back mountain, Zhong Yuan didn’t deliberately delay.
He stood aside, his staff raised in preparation.
Four or five seconds later, he retracted the immobilization spell.
Guang Zhi instantly regained his freedom.
But as soon as Guang Zhi moved, Zhong Yuan gathered all his strength, instantly consuming half of his mana and stamina in a single strike.
He struck down from above.
The Primordial Staff.
This wasn’t the strongest power he could unleash. If he consumed all his mana and stamina, the power could increase exponentially, but it was already ten times his normal physical strength!
The big-headed monster before had been cleaved in half by this very staff.
At this time, Guang Zhi’s demonic body was clearly much harder, but with the staff approaching, Guang Zhi’s head also directly exploded, his brains splattering.
Guang Zhi’s eyes widened as he slowly fell.
“Could it be, you are… the Heaven’s Chosen the King spoke of.”
Guang Zhi’s soul seemed to still find it hard to accept.
The next moment, Guang Zhi’s body turned to ashes again, only this time the spiritual light from Guang Zhi’s body was all pulled by the weapon in his hand, all absorbed into it.
Finally, the weapon clattered to the ground.
“Guang Zhi…”
This weapon was a double-headed spear.
Zhong Yuan retracted his staff, picked up the weapon, and instantly felt a connection in his heart:
【Crimson Tide.】
【Comes with spell, Crimson Wave Three Parts, Aggressive, after using, transforms into wolf demon, attacks imbued with fire burning disaster劫火灾劫。】
“Too bad, all the spells are on the weapon, I don’t know if I can learn them.”
“Did Guang Zhi accidentally get this weapon, and so he turned into a wolf demon and lived to this day? To seek revenge?”
Zhong Yuan recalled the past of the Guanyin Zen Temple. If Journey to the West was still the Journey to the West he remembered, then Guang Zhi and his master were also victims of their own greed, harming others and ultimately harming themselves.
“Being a demon, there’s no good end to it.”
Zhong Yuan’s mind moved, and he directly activated Crimson Tide. The next moment, he felt a surge of heat, engulfing his entire body.
As a completely different demonic power flowed within his body, flames surged at the two ends of the spear in his hand.
“This is the Fire Burning Disaster?”
“Burn oneself, then burn others.”
Zhong Yuan raised Crimson Tide, directly threw it out, stabbing it in the center of the courtyard. All the fiery demonic power retreated back into Crimson Tide, and Zhong Yuan returned to his original appearance.
【You have comprehended Crimson Tide’s art, achieving a slight understanding, you have learned the Fire Burning Technique.】
Zhong Yuan took out his own staff, and a dark fire spread over it.
【You have combined the Fire Burning Technique, successfully deduced Primordial Staff’s art, created the Calamity Fire Staff.】
【Calamity Fire Staff: Spell. Continuously consumes mana, covering the long staff with Calamity Fire, can continuously burn the enemy. 】
Zhong Yuan’s staff flew up and down, a blaze of fire danced in Guang Zhi’s courtyard, growing stronger and stronger, eventually transforming into a fire dragon, soaring towards the sky.
The already dark night was suddenly lit up by the fire.
The Black Wind Mountain Land Deity watched from afar, his eyes wide, “This, this this…”
“Such talent, truly extraordinary!” The Taoist beside the Land Deity also exclaimed in amazement.
With such talent, it seems this Heaven’s Chosen really has a chance to reach the end.
But at that time, it would be truly unknown who would benefit.
But they could only believe in that monkey.
